About Us
We believe architecture and engineering should bring clarity—not confusion—to complex building projects. We value responsiveness, clear communication, and hands-on collaboration at every step.
Our work is rooted in practical, cost-conscious problem solving, without sacrificing creativity or quality. Above all, we’re committed to helping our clients lead with confidence, supported by a team that delivers thoughtful, high-performing design.
Gridwork AE was established in 2000 as Livermore Architecture & Engineering, Inc. From the start we have integrated architecture and structural engineering. The company has since grown to be a group of highly skilled and respected professionals led by Geoff Grummon-Beale, RA, and Mira Vorobets, the firm’s Principals.
Small Firm Service + Large Firm Capabilities
You won’t be a name in a database to us. With only a staff of ten people, Gridwork AE can give each client the personal attention they deserve. Even though we are small, we’re licensed in over 20 states, working in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. We can optimize the unique and complementary talents of our staff so that we can bring a robust and streamlined service without any of the fluff or bureaucracy that larger firms bring.
In-house Architecture & Structural Engineering
Because our firm was established from the beginning as an integrated structural engineering and architecture firm, we are deeply committed to finding practical, efficient solutions to design problems. Our multi-disciplinary team has decades of experience working together which gives perfect ground for smooth communication and quick solutions.
We Design Buildings That Work for People That Work
Our completed projects house thousands of people who are working in a variety of trades and professions – manufacturing, maintaining, administering, and supporting. We understand that the designs we develop have a direct result on the functionality, productivity, and well-being of the users of the building. We want our designs to support your business and we want to be a resource for your success. We value your time and input and don’t take it for granted.
Solid Designs – Practical Solutions
We believe great design creates buildings that are both attractive and highly functional. However, we put our egos aside and put our client’s needs first at every stage in the design process. We will strive for the highest level of quality the project will support but we will not try to convince you to buy something you do not need. Our team looks for ways not only to save construction costs for the client, but also for solutions that provide long-term, lasting value.
